This book is an experiment in the genre of textbooks: mathematical formulas related to entropy, distributions, and inequality measures like the Gini index are embedded into a fictious story about seven scientists, meeting, and acting according to their respective characters in an imaginary project. The embedding of formulas inside the story is, however, lifted by putting all formulas into the last chapter, so that the story can be read through. This is done for the sake of those who would not or could not follow university level math. Still, as a novelty, the pdf file contains hypertext jumps to and back from the corresponding formulas. In the printed version, unfortunately, only the page number could have been indicated where to continue (or not) the reading. The story is about (economical, wealth and social) inequality, and about the utopistic and distopic dream of treating equally persons with varying social and economical status. The mathematical models and notions behind are introductory to the area of statistics, statistical pyhsics, econophysics and quantitaive finance. This book, as a novel mixture of a fiction and a theoretical textbook, may prove to be a chimera, but perhaps also a new dynamit for the intellectual considerations about how to measure, model and manipulate inequality in our societies. As said, an experiment.

This volume is a collection of papers on emerging concepts, significant insights, and novel approaches to Information Systems Development (ISD). It delves into the latest trends in ISD and examines how organizational goals, structure, and the business environment--including regulations and societal trends--can impact the creation and implementation of information systems. The book draws on invited papers selected from the proceedings of the 31st International Conference on Information Systems Development hosted by Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Portugal, on August 30-September 1, 2023 (ISD2023). The general theme of ISD2023 was "Information Systems Development, Organizational Aspects, and Societal Trends". This volume is specifically designed for researchers who are interested in exploring the methodological and operational perspectives of Information Systems Development, as well as the impact of organizational aspects and societal trends. The primary target audience for this volume is those who want to deepen their understanding of ISD from both theoretical and practical perspectives.

Social Entropy Theory written by Kenneth D. Bailey and has been published by SUNY Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1990-01-01 with Social Science categories.
Social Entropy Theory illuminates the fundamental problems of societal analysis with a nonequilibrium approach, a new frame of reference built upon contemporary macrological principles, including general systems theory and information theory. Social entropy theory, using Shannon's H and the entropy concept, avoids the common (and often artificial) separation of theory and method in sociology. The hallmark of the volume is integration, as seen in the author's interdisciplinary discussions of equilibrium, entropy, and homeostasis. Unique features of the book are the introduction of the three-level model of social measurement, the theory of allocation, the concepts of global-mutable-immutable, discussion of order and power, and a large set of testable hypotheses.

"As a matter of fact, art has always preceded science. When in the course of the evolution of human knowledge art and science have drifted apart, critics have never been wanting who were ready to assert that science was productive of no useful results. Criticisms of this kind are largely founded on the fact that a science has not nearly so immediate a utility as the cognate art. It is also to be said that art cannot confine itself to its teaching function; it must also demonstrate its persuasive power. Consequently art is obliged to make use of certain rhetorical devices with which science has nothing to do. As the most persuasive reasoning is not always the soundest, it happens that economic science often differs from economic art in the means of expression employed..."

Filling the gap for an up-to-date textbook in this relatively new interdisciplinary research field, this volume provides readers with a thorough and comprehensive introduction. Based on extensive teaching experience, it includes numerous worked examples and highlights in special biographical boxes some of the most outstanding personalities and their contributions to both physics and economics. The whole is rounded off by several appendices containing important background material.

Quantum Calculus written by Victor Kac and has been published by Springer Science & Business Media this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2001-11-16 with Mathematics categories.
Simply put, quantum calculus is ordinary calculus without taking limits. This undergraduate text develops two types of quantum calculi, the q-calculus and the h-calculus. As this book develops quantum calculus along the lines of traditional calculus, the reader discovers, with a remarkable inevitability, many important notions and results of classical mathematics. This book is written at the level of a first course in calculus and linear algebra and is aimed at undergraduate and beginning graduate students in mathematics, computer science, and physics. It is based on lectures and seminars given by MIT Professor Kac over the last few years at MIT.

This book discusses the study and analysis of the physical aspects of social systems and models, inspired by the analogy with familiar models of physical systems and possible applications of statistical physics tools. Unlike the traditional analysis of the physics of macroscopic many-body or condensed matter systems, which is now an established and mature subject, the upsurge in the physical analysis and modelling of social systems, which are clearly many-body dynamical systems, is a recent phenomenon. Though the major developments in sociophysics have taken place only recently, the earliest attempts of proposing "Social Physics" as a discipline are more than one and a half centuries old. Various developments in the mainstream physics of condensed matter systems have inspired and induced the recent growth of sociophysical analysis and models. In spite of the tremendous efforts of many scientists in recent years, the subject is still in its infancy and major challenges are yet to be taken up. An introduction to these challenges is the main motivation for this book.

Amartya Sen "Equality," I spoke the word As if a wedding vow Ah, but I was so much older then, I am younger than that now. Thus sang Bob Dylan in 1964. Approbation of equality varies not only with our age (though it is not absolutely clear in which direction the values may shift over one's life time), but also with the spirit of the times. The 1960s were good years for singing in praise of equality. The spirit of the present times would probably be better reflected by melodies in admiration of the Federal Reserve System. And yet the technical literature on the evaluation and measurement of economic inequality has grown remarkably over the last three decades. Even as actual economic policies (especially in North America and Europe) have tended to move towards focusing on virtues other than the avoidance of economic inequality, the professional literature on assessing and gauging economic inequality has taken quite a jump forward. A great many different problems have been addressed and effectively sorted out, and new problems continue to be posed and analyzed. The Contents: A Review Jacques Silber has done a great service to the subject by producing this collection of admirablyhelpful and illuminating papers on different aspects of the measurement of income inequality. The reach of this collection is quite remarkable. Along with a thorough overview from the editor himself, the major areas in this complex field have been carefully examined and accessibly discussed.
